Earl Thomas had never picked up a microphone in his life until he was nearly killed after losing his footing at the edge of a 50-foot ravine and slid all the way down, landing unconscious on a pile of broken glass and debris. Luckily, the 22-year-old dental student was only bruised, but not knowing the extent of the damage upon regaining consciousness, he reflected on his disappointment at not having pursued his dream of becoming a singer, and resolved to do just that if he survived. Nine years later, he recorded 1991's Blue...Not Blues, a record strongly influenced by his parents' love of blues and gospel music and his own affinity for '60s and '70s soul. His "I Sing the Blues" became a hit for <a href="spotify:artist:0iOVhN3tnSvgDbcg25JoJb">Etta James</a>, and he played European music festivals with such artists as <a href="spotify:artist:2BGRfQgtzikz1pzAD0kaEn">Elvis Costello</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:5xLSa7l4IV1gsQfhAMvl0U">B.B. King</a>. His second album, Extra Soul, was released in 1994 on the Memphis International label, followed by a second for the imprint, Intersection, in 2005. ~ Steve Huey, Rovi
